One more post to search for Holocaust victims:

HOW TO RANDOM SEARCH FOR HOLOCAUST VICTIMS IN THE IGI:

Go to [Link: tinyurl.com…] or [Link: www.familysearch.org…]

In FIRSTNAME box, type common Jewish name, i.e.: Sarah, Moses, Chaim, Isaac, etc. Leave LASTNAME box blank.

In EVENT, select DEATH/BURIAL

In YEAR RANGE, select ‘+/- TWO YEARS’

In YEAR, type any one year between 1942-1945 (1944 is best).

In region, select CONTINENTAL EUROPE

In COUNTRY, select POLAND (country with most camps)

Leave all other boxes blank, now click SEARCH.

Search results will display a list of names of many Holocaust victims. Click on an individual’s name to select record to display. (Frequently a death camp will be named).

Click PEDIGREE near top of page to view Family Tree.

To search for a specific individual, do enter specific name/date/place, try variant spellings.

familysearch.org includes lots and lots of indexed names that are part of the indexing project. I, personally, have indexed names for this project, so I know it was only for the purpose of creating a genealogical tool.
